The Story

Inventor Tony Christianson first came up with the brilliant idea for a double axle cam, teaming up with Chouinard Equipment (now Black Diamond) in 1987 to produce the first Camalot (Black Diamond’s registered trade name for the C4).

The double axle design of the Camalot created a range of placement and strength unequaled by any other camming device—pivotal advantages that are still preferred today. Additionally, they were the first cams with a greater cam angle—a small but significant adaptation.

The Camalot continues to evolve and has undergone some major innovations in the past 25 years. The first generation Camalots were pretty hefty. The C4, or 3rd generation Camalot, is a significant advance in design. They are 30% lighter than the original, offer a larger expansion range, and, with the cable loop trigger and smoother action, they are more flexible for quicker and easier placement.

The evolution of successive generations of Camalots shows remarkable adaptation, continued fascination with the original principle of active camming, and worldwide acceptance on the hardware rack. As climbing techniques develop and climbing routes get harder, demand for innovative equipment becomes even greater.

New materials and manufacturing processes along with endless refinement in design and function have made it possible for the gear industry to keep pace with the modern climber. Unless, perhaps, it is the climber who keeps pace with new technological advances? We’ll leave that question for you to decide.

Care Instructions: Machine wash cold, inside-out, gentle cycle with mild detergent and similar colors. Use non-chlorine bleach, only when necessary. No fabric softeners. Tumble dry low, or hang-dry for longest life. Cool iron inside-out if necessary. Do not dry clean.

If you’re unsure about sizing, the best way to determine a correct size is to grab an existing favorite t-shirt, lay it flat, and then measure it.

To find the bust size, measure from armpit to armpit. To get the length, measure from neck/shoulder corner intersection to bottom of hem (see illustration). Double the garment width to determine the chest/bust circumference measurement, and you’ll find it will generally fit.
